  5. Cautionary tale for the ages & much of interest to other markets in this ABC (Australian broadcaster) piece on the apparently sudden collapse of the S Korean market: “According to KB Financial Group, South Korean retail investors have made net purchases of around 14 trillion won ($US9.7 billion) in single-stock leveraged ETFs since their launch, with foreigners tipping in roughly 2 trillion won ($US1.4 billion). [Note that the value of the 2 major chipmakers had risen to make up 60 per cent of the market’s total value by last month.]

    “South Korean leaders are scrambling as the worsening situation threatens further instability, with the main opposition, the People Power Party's Lee Jongwook, going on the attack.

    “"When I think about it now, these products should never have been allowed on to the market. I consider this a policy failure," Mr Lee said.”

    And: “According to data from Goldman Sachs, as of a fortnight ago, more than 1.2 million retail investors who had borrowed cash to take part in the frenzy had received what is known as "margin calls".

    “With losses overwhelming their collateral, they have been told to stump up extra cash to maintain their position. Of those, around 360,000 accounts have been forcefully liquidated.

    “South Korean media reports indicate that more than 60 per cent of liquidated investors are under 30 and have not just lost everything, but are now in debt.”

    What does that do to your country? Population is estimated at 52m total (2024) & like all so-called advanced economies, demographically underweight in youngs.

  7. “A nation newly enamoured of stock markets is discovering that shares can go down as well as up. Since peaking in June the stock prices of Samsung and SK Hynix have crashed … wiping $1.2trn from South Korea’s highly concentrated stock market…“

    “Now a government that just weeks ago was embracing markets is being forced to apologise for them.

    … When the selling began in June broker accounts faced margin calls and were shut down by the thousand, causing regulators to suspend new ETF launches. At an emergency meeting on July 29th politicians promised to severely limit the use of these funds. One compared the market to a casino. Shares in the country’s department stores are crashing as fast as those of its chipmakers, in anticipation of the handbags that will now remain on the shelves.”

    What’s wrong with this picture? Why so much volatility? Has the AI burn that Apple’s supposed to watch (see Ed Zitron interview) now started?
    “Trading on South Korea's benchmark Kospi index was paused temporarily on Tuesday morning after sliding by 8%. It fell further after the 20-minute halt was lifted, closing 10.8% lower.
    “The slump was led by technology firms, with Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix both falling by more than 13%.
    “It comes after AI chip giant Nvidia* fell by 5% in New York on Monday, meaning it lost its position as the world's most valuable listed company to Apple.
    “The tech-heavy Kospi has been halted multiple times so far this year under a stock market mechanism known as a circuit breaker, which is designed to calm panic selling.
    “The index had more than doubled from the start of the year to mid-June but has since lost around a third of its value.”

    * Wall Street Journal had reported Nvidia in talks to provide ~$250bn for OpenAI as part of a massive data-centre project.
    Also, shares in China's biggest memory chip maker, ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT), soared by nearly 470% on their Monday debut in Shanghai.
